Success with pics!!! (I hope)
Quote:
The magenta one (my husband bought it in late September or early November), my first, had nice, healthy looking roots when purchased and had two healthy looking spikes with lots of blooms and buds. I originally placed it in my bedroom where I always kept a window at least cracked and sometimes halfway open because the temperature that that house was kept at was just too warm for me. I realized after it started looking horribly droopy that I'd made a terrible mistake and moved it to the bathroom where the temperature was regulated and warm. Unfortunately I totally lost one spike and cut it close to the leaves. The roots looked great when I got it but now are shriveled up and look awful (Note: I used the "water with ice" method and I'm sure that didn't help the situation much :( ) The 3rd pic is the magenta one slightly lifted out of the pot...those roots look very unhappy to me :( The white one my husband bought me about two weeks ago and seems to be surviving me so far, the roots, I think, look pretty good. I haven't lifted the pots out yet to really inspect any of them, I have a VERY active, VERY curious 4 year old grandson who spends most of the week here and I am going to have to wait until he goes to his mom's to really get into anything otherwise he will drive me mad wanting to "see" and "help". I'd love to share this with him but as I'm learning just isn't the best time. I'm hoping to get a chance maybe tonight or tomorrow. As far as the potted "collection", I took the best pictures I could but trying to get any type of clear pic of the roots or under the moss was almost impossible because the moss is really packed in there and for the same reason I mentioned above, I'm going to have to wait to get into that any deeper. Thanks so much for all the feedback, suggestions, and comments, I really appreciate all the patience given while I struggle to learn :) And thanks all for the warm welcomes! :) I have new pics of the magenta Phals roots...it's bad :( most of them are total mush, like jelly <\3 I started a new thread under beginners with the pics in desperate hopes someone knows of a way it can be saved. |
Happy New Year to all! May 2014 be filled with blessings for us all <3
